LAHORE:
The president of the Pakistan Muslim League –Q Senator Chaudhri Shujaat Hussain has said that the Punjab government is spending Rs30 million daily on advertisements for the character assassination of Malik Riaz Hussain who is a great philanthropist.
He said that this money should be spent on welfare of the people but it is being wasted to malign Bahria Town. He said that hospitals of Bahria Town in Lahore Rawalpindi and Islamabad are providing free medical care including free dialysis, kidney transplant and hepatitis B. He said that Bahria Town serves free meals to millions of people.
While there were richer people in Pakistan none of them bothered to spend money to get the Pakistani brothers from the captivity of Somali pirates. Malik Riaz paid Rs130m to get them free. His services for the victims of floods and earthquake are well known. Bahria Town is the only neighbourhood where there are no power outages and it does not need to employ the security persons, the PML-Q leader said.
